What would I do with all that money? (servers fantasy)


Having to turn in money at the end of the night is like asking a kid to give them back a piece of candy you just handed them. Why would we have to turn in money you ask? Throughout a shift, some people pay with cash, while others pay with credit cards. If everyone, or too many people pay you in cash, then you will end up owing house cash. This is because people are paying you for their checks and tips in cash and we have to hold the money until the end of the shift. On the opposite hand, if not enough people pay you in cash, the restaurant will owe you money because you don’t have enough to compensate for the amount of tips you received.
When I have a good amount of house cash, I always have fantasies of running away with the money and never coming back. Those are just fantasies of course. The $400 probably would not be worth the police chase, lawsuit, and possible jail time, although that does not stop the thought. On a good weekend, I could probably make that amount of money anyway. Just have to work long, hard, hours and it will pay off. Full time servers can make more money than some people on salaries so don’t ever underestimate what their bank account may look like.
